Proverbs 12:1-10

1Whoso loveth correctionH4148 loveth knowledgeH1847: but he that hateth reproofH8433 is brutish.

2A goodH2896 manH376 shall obtainH6329 favour of the LORDH3068: but a manH376 of wickedH7561 devicesH4209 will he condemnH7561.

3A manH120 shall notH3808 be establishedH3559 by wickednessH7562: but the rootH8328 of the righteousH6662 shall neverH3808 be movedH4131.

4A virtuous womanH802 is a crownH5850 to herH802 husbandH1167: but she that maketh ashamedH954 is as rottennessH7538 in his bonesH6106.

5The thoughtsH4284 of the righteousH6662 are justH4941: but the counselsH8458 of the wickedH7563 are deceitH4820.

6The wordsH1697 of the wickedH7563 are of lyingH693 in waitH693 for bloodH1818: but the mouthH6310 of the uprightH3477 shall deliverH5337 them.

7The wickedH7563 are overthrownH2015, and are notH369: but the houseH1004 of the righteousH6662 shall standH5975.

8A manH376 shall be commended accordingH6310 to his wisdomH3820: but he that is of a perverse heartH3820 shall be despisedH937.

9BetterH2896 is he that is lightlyH7034 esteemedH7034, and hath a servantH5650, thanH2896 he that honoureth himselfH3513, and lacketh breadH3899.

10A righteousH6662 manH7563 regardeth the lifeH5315 of his beastH929: but the tender merciesH7356 of the wickedH7563 are cruelH394.
